Thank you very much for your wonderful video on this topic,and I got it completely, However,this is my question if we really need to know or study this to make us speak fluently. Thank you in advance for your answer.
You ask a very important question! Most native speakers wouldn't be able to tell you what a ditransitive verb is, but they use these patterns frequently and effortlessly. For a second language learner, however, seeing how the language fits together like pieces of a puzzle is one more way to master the language. My goal is to heighten your awareness of these patterns and offer the chance to practice some of them. One dedicated learner here is @hilalahmad7286. After any lesson (vocabulary or grammar), he immediately invests the effort to apply what was learned. This then helps him gain accuracy. This lesson is in my advanced grammar playlist. I'm also challenging learners to move back and forth between active and passive constructions, and being able to place the focus where you want gives you greater accuracy in self-expression. There are different paths to fluency. Some give little direct attention to grammar. For others, focused grammar practice helps things "click" in their minds. I hope that answers your question.
Hi Jennifer. I'm from the UK and have been a software developer for 30 years. I can't believe how much of the terminology I don't know and how I use English grammar, often correctly, without knowing why. 😄Love and light.
Most native speakers don't know grammar terminology beyond the basic parts of speech. It's not necessary. When you study a foreign language, though, you can more easily make comparisons to your first language if you're aware of things like passive verbs, reduced adjective clauses, etc. I have a couple of native speakers in my Patreon program. They've had teaching experience, but they challenge themselves to boost their own vocabulary and writing skills.
thank you Jennifer for the explanation I will learn more English from you, never get bored to share lessons / knowledge that is very useful for everyone
Super lesson! it's an idea to watch this one a few times as there is a lot to take in. How not to overspend: It's best to stick to a budget. Spend what you can afford at Christmas. Don't even consider putting yourself in debt. Invitations: If I were inviting someone to a party, I would make sure they received my email or text invitation. I would phone them if I didn't get a response. It is easy to overlook an email and text message. Thanks!
Wow. Thank you for the very generous support! I know it comes from a fellow grammar lover. :) Good advice: stick to a budget. I try, but I'm not always successful. Ha ha. So true about responses. An email response could be overlooked. I like using evites for larger gatherings. It keeps me organized and sends out reminders. When I send evites to people, I expect them to tell me yes, no, or maybe. Those responses are recorded.
@@EnglishwithjenniferYes, I love learning all these technical terms. Evites: I didn't know they were called evites. I'm learning new things every day. Thank you!
Dear Madam, my comment is in respect of the video on double Comparative , which you had made 12 years ago.This lesson was somewhat complicated for me. Your explanation cleared every doubt I had.Thank you very much for making a video on such an important lesson.Wish you courage to make more and more videos on important lesson which Other teachers don't.
Wow. That was an old one. I'm glad you found it and learned something from it. :) I like explaining grammar as I understand it. I hope you'll watch more lessons.
Grammar is a very interesting topic. However, I only learned about cases when I studied Russian. I don't talk about dative, accusative, etc. when I think of English grammar.
Thank you Sergei. The big takeaway here is the list of collocations. Look them over and be sure you feel comfortable using those verbs with the correct prepositions. Happy New Year!
Hello Jennifer! This is yet another delightful lesson from you! Thanks! Here are my examples: Jennifer brought a yet another delightful lesson for us today. She explains the complicated grammar to us amazingly simple way. Our teacher gives everything to her reaching. I am sure Jennifer would tell us a story this Christmas. Jennifer tells us everything about a particular grammar topic she chooses for the day. Ali's father didn't give him any gifts. Earlier, he used to send him wonderful gifts. Due to ill-managed economic policies, this government is depriving the poor of their due share. Police is stopping people from going near the crime scene. We have been explained some wonderful grammar by Jennifer. Please check my grammar! Stay safe!
I love how you embrace each lesson and immediately apply what you've learned. :) My comments: Jennifer PROVIDED a yet another delightful lesson for us today. She explains the complicated grammar to us IN AN amazingly simple way. Our teacher gives everything to her Teaching. THE police ARE stopping people from going near the crime scene. Some wonderful grammar HAS BEEN EXPLAINED by Jennifer
Of those many meetings, the one I "( had )" in Chicago in 1994 was very special . Mam generally we can use. "have/had + noun " Like this "had a meeting ,have a meeting " But in this sentence after "HAD" used a preposition "in" "I (had in) Chicago in 1994 " I don't understand this sentence Please reply to understand this sentence
That's an adjective/relative clause: "the one that I had" "the one which I had" It's possible to omit the relative pronoun because it's an object in an identifying clause. I have a playlist on adjective clauses. :)
Hello , mam ! Could you please explain me the correction of the sentence. Why first sentence is considered incorrect ? The lake freezed rapidly. ( incorrect) The lake froze rapidly.(correct )
I am not sure that i can ask you this; however, i am gonna ask. What is the definition of "Ethicizing" Sometimes "Ethicice" and "Stereotypes". I hear this from communication and journalism topics. Could you clarify what it is? It's been doubt for me since a long time ago. And i luv u....
Hi. It's not a commonly used word. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ethicize It's to connect ethics to the issue. Do a Google search and filter for "News" to see how journalists use the word.
Respected madam, The mandatory reporting obligation under the pocso act and the fear of the partner "being reported" to the police deters girls from availing themselves of medical services and inadvertently pushes them towards unsafe abortion. Is "Being reported" a passive present participle adjective modifying "the partner" or is it a passive gerund (if it's a passive gerund, they should have written like this "the partner's being reported) please explain to me.
Hello. "Fear of" + gerund OF needs an object, and gerunds behave like nouns. "Being" can be the object. Gerunds can be passive (being + past participle). Gerunds can be possessive (his being reported), and sometimes we change that possessive word to an object pronoun (him being reported). More info here. ua-cam.com/video/c3-Hhv2Xu3s/v-deo.html
@@Englishwithjennifer sorry I might not clarified well.... I meant that we have three schools, one for boys, the second for girls and the last one is for both. What/how do we title them??

Hi. Not sure. I don't use that term and haven't come across it. If the verb is transitive, it needs an object. I imagine that "directional" means a prepositional phrase of direction or another adverbial: The hostess seated our family at a large table. transitive verb = seated object = our family adverbial/prepositional phrase of place/direction = at a large table
Thank you so much. How about the other one "Intransitive Locational Verb"? Help me understand about this maam. Asking for help for my lesson plan. I am a college student. Hope you notice me again. 🥹
Hello. Again, it's not a term I'm familiar with. I think different sources use different terminology. I imagine it's an intransitive verb (no object) that refers to location: sleep in bed walk up the stairs etc.
I didn't know what he'd done I didn't know what he did What's the difference here? Context: he stole my money and I didn't know at the time of speaking.

"Freeze" is an irregular verb: freeze/ froze/ frozen.

As a title for schools,
Do we say 1boys' school or 2school for boys??

Hi. Not sure. I don't use that term and haven't come across it. If the verb is transitive, it needs an object. I imagine that "directional" means a prepositional phrase of direction or another adverbial:
The hostess seated our family at a large table.
transitive verb = seated
object = our family
adverbial/prepositional phrase of place/direction = at a large table

Hello. Again, it's not a term I'm familiar with. I think different sources use different terminology. I imagine it's an intransitive verb (no object) that refers to location:
